Conor William Graham, 22

| September 19, 2021 12:00 AM

Conor William Graham was welcomed into this world on Sept. 1, 1999, by his parents Shane W. and Julie E. Graham, as well as his big brother Quinten and a host of eagerly waiting family and friends.

A handsome and exceedingly charming child, Conor attended grade school at Elrod Elementary and Kalispell Junior High. He graduated from Columbia Falls High School in 2018 where he excelled in all things choir, achieving a highly sought-after spot with the Sonifers group his senior year. It was during high school at Columbia Falls that Conor met his future wife Emily Lamb.

Conor navigated the challenges of Type 1 diabetes from just over 2 years of age, throughout his life and faced it head-on with the unwavering love and support of his parents, both families and good friends.

Conor embarked on the next adventure in his journey on Sept. 12, 2021. And while we will miss him terribly, we understand he’d grown weary of life’s challenges and accept his desire to leave those challenges behind him.

Conor was preceded in death by his mother Julie E. Graham, maternal grandparents Liz Jones, Frank Pollinger and uncle, Scott Pollinger.

He is survived by his father Shane W. Graham, brother Quinten N. Graham and paternal grandparents Neil and Lorraine Graham, and his aunt and fairy godmother, Whitney Graham; cousins Tara Killian and Tiana Prochnow and their families. Conor is also survived by maternal uncles Mike (Annie) and Brian Pollinger and aunt Lisa (Jean) Benlian and their families. Conor also leaves a rather large extended family and many friends that loved him.

No services will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the American Juvenile Diabetes Organization in Conor’s name.

Until we meet again, he watches over us.

Love you, Con. Always …
